NO CHRISTMAS FOR HIM.

Chicago Herald.
You have surely seen him-the poor
devil out of a jOb-With his coat but
toned to his chin, hungry look in his
eyes, and bit of antique stocking
showing through the hole in the side of
his shoe. He mingleS with the holiday
thrOng-gaZes at the Shop-windOW
Splendors, lodges fat women with chill
dren'S chairs and other SeaSOnable
weapons in hand, and stands and looks
at the automatic Santa Claus. But
there is no glistening in his eye, no
smile upon his lips. Christmas is
mOckery for him. He is busted.
Everything seems to be agin me-"
said one of these unfortunates the other
day. "Had a job promised me, but
went by the board O. trade clock an got
there too late. Anudder Teller got the
job. An old friend O. mine promised to
meet me his last payday, and set me up
Sellin' oranges on the street. Afore he
got to where | was he met some odder
fellers, got drunk with 'em an spent all
his money. But that want the worst.
Night afOre last l made up my mind l
was goin' to git turkey an take it to
an old woman L knows up near Goose
island an have my Christmas dinner
with her.
II went down to the viaduck over the
Northwestern tracks, got down onto the
braces underneath, and watched my
chance. Purity soon freight train came
along with a car O. poultry in it. The
crates were piled up higher'n boXcar,
an up through the Stats O. one O. the
topm0st boxes was sticken' the head o.
big gobbler. Bracin' myself agin the
beams | reached for that turk and got
him by the neck. l held to him like
death to a sick niger, but, with my
usual luck, the burned Stat on that crate
was nailed down too tight. All [ got o.
the blasted turk was his head, an [
couldn't make no Christmas dinner on
that, could I?''

A WOMAN'S WAY.
How a Minnesota Girl Saved Herself from
Good Wetting.

Anybody who mistakes st. Paul girl
for being who is liable to get left in
the hustle and hustle of life, will fool
himself badly. During the storm yes
terday young man who works in an up
town real estate office was hurrying home
to dinner comfortably sheltered under a
silver handled umbrella. Just as he was
passing a doorway on Wabash street his
attention was attracted by a sweet voice
that said:
Il beg your pardon, sir, but must get
home to dinner. | haven't an umbrella
and don't propose to get wet" and be-
fore he knew it he found a plump little
figure, neatly dressed, smuggling up to
him under the umbrella, taking about the
same number of strides to minute that
he was. With a humping heart and
flushed cheeks he looked down into
pair of eyes and a pink and white face
that made his blood jump through his
veins with rush. Daintily holding her
skirts above the wet sidewalk she tripped
along on a pair of tiny feet that seemed
hardly to touch the ground, all the while
jabbering away in the most unconcerned
manner about the weather and other
topics of interest. Almost before he
realized it the young man had reached
his boarding house, and he informed the
fair stranger of this fact.
ooh, all right" she said 81 live three
blocks further on. I'll see that you get
the umbrella all right" and giving him
the smile of an angel she placed her
hand on the silver handle of the UNI
brella and a second later had moved off
with it, leaving the young man para
lyzed standing in the rain. Pulling him
self together he went into the house, ate
his dinner in daZed sort of a way, and
borrowed an umbrella of the landlady
to walk back to the office under. Late
in the afternoon messenger boy walked
into the office with his umbrella and
package. He undid the parcel and found
two beautiful full-dress linen shirts with
plated bosom, and pair of silk socks.
Pinned to one of the shirts was this
note:
Dear Sir: found out your place of bust
ness in the city directory. | return the UNI
low-cut vests and | send you a couple Of
shirts to match. AS / have no proof that
you've got any socks | send you pair. 1
get these go ds cheap. as l work in dry
goods store with gents furnishing goods de-
partment. Yours respectfully,
GRATEFUL.
The young man says he proposes to
camp on the sidewalk till he finds the
girl, and if death don't knock him out
he'll marry her and show her that he
don't wear socks awkwardly like man
who is not used to them.-St. Paul Globe.

Where LOngfellow Was Born.

Any one in Portland will tell you that
down in that old square, hip-roofed, rotting
structure at the corner of Hancock and Fore
streets-where when it was built the tide
crept to the very threshoId-on February 81,
1907, Longfellow first saw the light. All the
people here know that. They know it,
too in a lugubrious, deprecatfng sort of
way that seizes upon your interest as a
strange freak, and they will friendly Tighten
your seriousness with any little bit Of wit
that can be recalled. Indeed, the old build
ing is a sort of by-word among them, and
because schoolmaster once asked his pu-
pills where Longfellow was born, and a
bright little Irish lad promptly answered ::
I'm Patsy Connor's bedroom, sirr'-which
was literally true, as the Conner family
were then among the tenants of the old
manson-a wise smile is on the town when
the same inquiry is made by the traveller
EdQdr L. Udkendn.

Dead Indians Debts.

''The debts of dead Indians are paid by
their relatives said an ex-merchant on Main

hart he continued, killed an Indian
several years ago, he owed me s345. Since
that time $3.50 of this amount has been paid
me by his relatives. Kentucky died the
other day owing me $50. Already his rela-
tives have approached me on the subject and
made arrangements to pay the amount. 1t
is law with them to pay the debts of their
dead relatives and they never break it. am
sure of getting my money if an Indian dies
owing me. but when a white man dies leav-
ing no property, no matter how rich his rela-
tlves are, never expect to get cent. There
is great deal of good about a dead Indian,
anyhow said the ex-merchant, as he closed
his conversation and walked away.-EaS
